Abstract

We adapt arguments from a paper of Seymour and Welsh concerning percolation probabilities on the infinite square lattice L to show that for certain regions R in L, if there is a positive probability of having an infinite open path in L starting at the origin then there is also a positive probability of having such a path within R.
